Lincoln Cent AT or NT ?

Edscoin · May 3, 2007 11:25AM

A couple weeks ago I posted asking for advice on Lincoln Cents as I was starting a set and knew nothing about them. I got a lot of good advice. ( Thanks Everyone) Since then I have bought a few cheap coins in different grades to try to get a fell about Grading and color on these. I got this rainbow toned one today and would like everones opinions on it. AT or NT , grade and any comments. ( If you can tell by these pictures) They are the best I have. The colors are a little brighter in hand. Mostly red, purple, blue and almost silver at the bottom of the reverse.

Thanks, ED

Hard to tell with that image. Surfaces look good though.

NT roll toning.

Neat Coin Looks ok.

Hmmm, that looks familiar.

Is that one that was listed on eBay by a seller with a bunch of other similar looking raw Lincolns?

This is interesting. I also have a 46-D that has similar toning and velvety luster. I've owned it for nearly 20 years and it's one of my favorite pieces.

Nice Coin............I like Lincolns.

NT or market acceptable for NT IMHO - look at the different colors at different reliefs on the reverse (ie, the tops of letters compared to the field). Roll toning, my guess. Rob

It is from this seller

He has this one also!

Yep. That is the seller. The 46 D I bought in hand looks NT and everyone here seems to agree. But now this 2006 gets listed and looks a lot like his older wheats. Hard to believe a one year old coin is toned like this also.
What does everyone Think now?

Hmmm....this coin is juiced.

There was a thread on this same guy back in February where he was found to be buying rolls of BU Lincolns.

Old thread

This guy bought these in February.

BU roll of 1946-D cents

OneCent · May 4, 2007 2:08PM

Devious...

Buy a common roll of BU lincolns, Juice em', then put them in "old school" 2x2 flips (with staples) to make them appear as if they were sitting around for 30 years comfortably toning.

Artificially Toning with the intent to deceive...is there is a law against this? There should be.

What is really bad the 46 d I bought is or was a very high grade coin. At least a 66 and might of had a shot at a 67. The picture is little dark but where the coin is not toned it is a beautiful natural red. It's a shame someone would take a nice coin and ruin it. Oh well it was worth the $2.50 I paid for the education. Like I said I am buying a few different grades and colors trying to learn before I buy the more expensive ones.

I don't collect copper right now, but all of these look questionable to fully AT to me..

Most people seem to think this is NT or at least market acceptable. Based on their opinions, do you think it's worthwhile to try and get this slabbed?

Being a common date probably not.

This guy is good. That 1946-D is an excellent duplication of the toning that frequently happens from storage in an old Whitman.

Russ, do you think he is good enough to slip them past PCGS or NGC?

Not sure about currently, as both services are far more skittish than they've been in the past. But I've seen plenty with a similar look that have been slabbed.

Thats scary when you can't even buy a common date wheat penny that has not possibly been messed with.

Imagine if more toners have been worked than not? This guy is probably making them rolls at a time.

Especially when you consider the size of the class GETTING the education.

Thanks.
